Please Major. More e and less Trixie. That voice! And I have not seen the list of people who should not be eating mayo sandwiches but I still know she is on it.

You might not like it Major. But if you want a gaming rig get yourself a MacBook Pro. It will blow away any Alienware or Dell or any other laptop you put against it.

Photolysis,

First of all... do you also realize it's rude to be eating in a meeting or when recording a show? Where's your insulting comments about e??

Secondly... how do you know Trixie interuppted them? Were you there in the office? How do you know she didn't just look in and wordlessly ask permission from Major? How do you know she didn't ask ahead of time if she could come by and pimp something? You do not know what went on, you only know what major wanted you to hear after he edited the show. So don't be such an ass and assume things.

TubbyJester,

They are co-workers, and on the show they seem to act a lot like how co-workers who are friends act. Major has stood up for Trixie many times when it comes to the insults the listeners throw her way about her voice. Major has said he likes when she comes on but the listeners don't. He ignores the listeners and still has her on quite a bit. So it doesn't sound to me like he's the one keeping her from being on.

Why the hatred against mayonnaise Major?

I will confess that when I first encountered mayonnaise to french fries i was disgusted. It was on a trip to Bruxelles. But it has become quite common here in Denmark over the last 15 years - and i wouldn't miss it for the world.

@TubbyJester:

It's rude to interrupt people when in meetings unless urgent (and I think whining because you missed out on some food which someone else paid for doesn't qualify). Ruder still, to interrupt people doing a podcast/radio show.

Seems you need to learn about normal social protocols.

And put it this way, I've held back a lot in this comment. Sadly, the way I would prefer to say a few points would be unprintable...

Hey Major,

Why do you need to be rude to Trixie everytime she comes on the show? I think she would be a great asset to the show if she didn't have to spend the whole time fighting off your snide remarks.

I vote for Trixie to do her own mid week podcast with gamer spotlight interviews.

Major, Great podcast. I like it when you have another co-host. I know that helps my podcast we do at gotspeech.net. One thing is that I would love to have Tina Wood back on your podcast. I think that was one of the best dialogs I have heard on your show. It's crazy you have me interested in this Discovery channel thing now.

I am running H2 Vista on my Dell XPS M1210. It works...barely. I'll post the specs for my gaming rig this week.

Hmm.. If it has the Intel video card than maybe it'll run on my Inspiron E1405. But if you have the addon graphics card.. I guess I may have to pass. :(

OH, I read that EDF review. Well.. let's just say I rate the game a 1/10 and disagree with the reviewer about as much as a person can disagree with someone. I found the game to be on par with Superman 64 and Aquaman. Sorry....

Mr. Hyrb,

is this why you like to limit the number of female gamers on your team when playing on live?

<b>Girls are best at gaming</b>

WOMEN play computer games more than fellas — and are BETTER at them.

Two-thirds of those aged 25-43 play regularly, compared to 35 per cent of men, claims a poll of 2,000.

Psychologist Susan Quilliam said multi-tasking-women were better at problem solving. She said: “They are more intellectually prepared than men.”

Any comments on my questions major? You seemed to skip over them.

French fries + mayonaise = win. It's practically the national food here in Holland. I'm not shure why Americans are having so many issues with that combination.

French fries with mayonaise is DELICIOUS!!! I eat it at least once a week. I am telling you: you have to come to Belgium to taste it.

Don't be evil with Trixie, guys!!!!
